That’s not on the list of things stolen, so the passwords are safe. The salts were kept elsewhere, as they should be.

The article doesn't mention customer id and account creation date, though these records were almost certainly along the login and passwords also. It's general news article.

Do you have some insider information, or where are you getting this? If the hackers were able to steal all of the other login information, the salts were almost certainly stolen along with the hashes.

Why should salts be stored elsewhere? If you have some high-security other storage, why don't you store the password hashes there?
